The Right Hon. Colonel King Har
man. M. p: has not proved the blessing
to the Government which it was fondly
hoped by the Tories he would turn out
to be. Already the Government is sick
of him. His lying, and his clustering,
and his bungling, have got them into
many mess. The latest is that he is
to be clicked upstairs" or in other
words he is to be made peer Of Poor
King Harman 1t is The last thing he
would think of. The House of Lords
has no allurements for him, The House
of Conlnolis is rather more the place
for him. Landjordlsrn has fallen upon
evil days. What with the reductions
made by those Internal sub-commission-
ers and that accursed plan of campaign,
when his tenants get pluck enough to
him, it would be a pleasant thing for
the Colonel to have the Secret Service
to draw from in this time OF diminished
exchequers.

The Very Rev. Leo Vanderstichele,
one OF the Jealous and devoted Fathers
Of the Redemptorist Congregation. in
Dundalk, died on Thursday, June 8, in
the house Of his order in that town,
after long and painful illness. Father
Leo was native Of Belgium, but had
passed by far the larger portion Of his
priestly life among the people of Ire
land. There is scarcely g. diocese in the
country in which, at one time or an
other, he did not exercise his mission
ary functions.
